One of my members sent me a link to these forums and I just thought I'd make a couple things clear. I've no interest to get into a flame war with "TheZ" because he's not really worth my time and I'm not a fan of mindless internet drama.
"TheZ" is actually Zachary Lassiter, a gentleman who has spent, perhaps, a total of about 5 hours in my personal presence. I had to have one of my staff remind me who he was because he wasn't around enough to be memorable. When I asked she responded with this.
"Do you remember the kid who showed up the same day Dan did? Who konked his head on the truck of stuff from Corecomm? He did some work for a while but was a major f**kup, lived in a halfway house sometimes or homeless sometimes, would come back occasionally to pester us and feel helpful."
That kind of explains it all I feel.
Zachary claims I'm an as*hole, this is true and I make no attempt to deny or explain it. It works for me.
He also claims that I use Aspergers as an excuse. That one I'll categorically deny. Do I have Aspergers, yes, but I was an as*hole before I was diagnosed a few years ago, and, to the best of my recollection, I've been as as*hole since birth.
I've no idea where he gets the bit about my exposing myself. I don't make a habit of it, but I am known to attend some rather wild parties so perhaps he's heard an interesting story or something. I can't deny that there have been opportunities to see me swinging naked from a ceiling fan, etc. Also, I did once ride my motorcycle naked from one county line to the other on a $50 bet.
btw, junebugs *sting*, just so you know.
Even as*holes know how to have a good time.
As far as my payroll, the lowest paycheck I issued this week was for $200 to one of the part-time techs. They're not what I would call "highly" paid, but they do alright given the perks of the job.
Concerning your comment about my toys often being stolen... Being a 501c3 corporation involved in teaching kids about science we receive tens of thousands of dollars in donated material on a monthly basis. To date we've received an industrial building, a bar (presently used by the local Al-Anon chapter), a house (being provided to a homeless family) and a million dollar Industrial robot. On the day I met you, you helped unload a truckload of donated material from Cor-Com. Had that material actually been stolen, that would make you an accessory to a felony. Is this what you're saying? While I find the notion that I'd have to steal to obtain my toys rather amusing, my legal staff asked me to inform you that libel is actionable.
If anyone else has any questions I'd be happy to answer them. Feel free to contact me though my email at the Group's homepage.
If Mr. Lassiter wishes to continue to behave in such a manner I'm sure I can deal with him accordingly.
